RETRUSPACrION AND ANiIC.rA-
TION.

Written fer the BULLETIN, by Euterpe.
My youthful days SO bright and fair,
Ere nave known grief or care,
But when my heart was light and free.
Will never more return to me.
Now, while upon the border land
or middle-age shrinking stand,
retrospective glance portrays
Inc pleasant scenes of youthful days.
Lfe,s moan cannot forever last;
Mine now is numbered with the past:
But morning in its best array,
Does not complete a perfect day.
When evening time is drawing near,
The sun shines just as bright and clear.
And when it passes quite from view,
The twilight hour is pleasant, too.
One half my earthly course is run:
My morning labor now is done:
May fortune grant to me this boon
calm and peaceful afternoon.
Oh, let me not the weakness show
OF grudging moments as they 90
But bravey step upon the stage
That separates youth from old-age.
This miidie-life is surely franght
with wisdom, gained by years of thought
Though youthful joys are left behind
There's much to please the cultured mind
My youthful days I'll not forget
But think ofthem without regret,
Hoping and trusting there may be
Some happy hours in store for me.

LOUISVILLE SHUT OUT.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 9.-An assem-
baege variouSly estimated at from 5000
to 1000 persons, to-day witnessed the
last association game of the season at
this place, the Louisvilles and Cincin-
MATHS being the contestants. Ramsey
and Kerins, Serod and keenan, were
the batteries, and both did excellent
work. Cincinnati made two runs in the
first inning by the error of Ramsey, who
NicOFS grOundeT, and the latter player
stole second and third in rapid success
sion, Fennelly driving in both Riley and
NicOls with a hit over short. After that
Ramsey settled down and not a run
crossed thu plate. Serod had the Louis
villes at his mercy, their hits. small in
number, being widely scattered. The
features of this most interesting game
were Collins work in left field, the fine
back-stOp work of Kerins and keenan,,
and the second-base playing of Mack.
Browning played miserably both in the
field and at the bat. McQuaid's umpir-
ing was questioned considerably.
